    So, my dad has tickets to a Red Sox game (in Boston) on Sunday the 30th. I have classes on Mondays at 9AM.

    You think it'd be a bad idea for me to go home for the weekend, see the game, and come back after the game... see, I'd be okay with that, it's just that I'd rather not ride the subway alone at some ungodly hour in the night/morning.

    Clases dont even matter the first couple weeks. Go for it.

    You say this like there's any good Mexican food in Boston.

    Man, the Mexican food here sucks. The best I've found is Anna's Taqueria, and that's just okay by the standards of anywhere else.

    Oh no, I agree.

    There's really no good Mexican food anywhere in the entire region. I like Anna's, but it's way overrated.

    I was just hoping that maybe someone knew a place... I mean, it's a big city. I guess it's a big city with not enough Mexicans though.

    There's a great Brazilian barbeque place, but that's hardly Mexican and oh jesus christ it's expensive.

    Brazilian BBQ is great. I'm sure there are cheap places in NYC that must be good, because I've been to one or two around home that were dirt cheap, and they gave you so much meat. Maybe I should have been worried about the quality of the meat....

    PM is a good way to get in touch with me. I'm down - just need a heads up since my August is riddled with birthdays.

    Has anybody ever done this sort of thing before in the city?

    Took forever to get to work today. Between the rain problems and the steampipe explosion, the past two weeks have not been good for the NYC subway system.

    Is there an actual date for this yet, or what?

    Might be tough for me to make it down just for a Friday thing and then bus back to Boston. On the other hand, I'm slated to have next Friday off, so I'll have to see.
